Thank you Magoosh for your help. Just when I thought I wasn't gonna get any reply, you entered :)

I took GMATPrep Test - 2 this morning. I secured 480 (31 Q; 25 V); the review list then showed that I answered 17 incorrect questions in Quant and 22 in Verbal. (I don't understand). I am trying to solve questions from the OG. I have 32 hours until the exam and I plan to utilize it wisely.

I could also use any last minute tips from your side. Also, could I find any link explaining the GMAT scoring system, I am aware that its adaptive, but does it take any other factor into consideration?

Dear Harish,

First of all, on the CAT, you may find this article helpful.
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/computeriz ... mat-score/

Here's an article about when to guess and when to skip, which you may find helpful:

Here's an article about the level of understanding for which to strive:

Other than those, you might peruse that blog (https://magoosh.com/gmat/) and glean what you can from the other articles.

I hope that helps. Best of luck to you, and let us know if you have any other last minute questions.

Mike :)

Do not study today. Just relax and take the test tomorrow to see how it goes. I personally would not cancel the score no matter what, so you can take it again another time and do better on it.

You asked about headphones and earplugs. They are provided at the test center. Good luck.

I had my test on 19th may here in US but since i am not citizen, I had to present my passport. They checked only passport, no other form of id. Also, I didn't carry appointment printout . They had all my information in their system.
I called them about a week before my test just to be sure that passport was required.
We get 8 mins break after awa; it seems sufficient but try to be back within 6 mins or so.
Good luck.

Excellent point. Breaks are shorter than we perceive them to be.
